Range Stormer

The Range Stormer is a concept car designed by Richard Woolley under the Land Roverbrand. It was introduced to the public at the 2004 North American International Auto Show.Gritzinger (2004) recognized the Range Stormer as an unusually "sporty" vehicle in the context of Land Rover's history, thanks to a sharply sloped windshield and A-pillars, a low roof, hood vents, and the "scissor"-style nature of the doors. Other notable features of the Range Stormer include a "clamshell" hood.A production version of the Range Stormer was planned for release in 2005 as a 2006 model, when it would become a four-door, "but retain much of the athletic appearance of the concept". This vehicle would become the Range Rover Sport.
